Guild Wars 2

I have a simple solution :

Delete the % MF on gear, only keep it on banner, buff and food.

Implement a new rule in the combat algorythm :
- up the % MF * dps i deal, great for fighter
- up the % MF * hit i receive, great for tanky
- up the % MF * health point i heal, great for healer

Implement this when your enter the combat mode, the current algo knows what you do, so… when a monster is killed, just apply these new rules, then loot.

But i know one issue : what happen if you are dps/tanky/healer like many hybrid characters in game ? problem solved with mathematic :

—> just calculate an average based on your dps/toughness/heal stuffs stats, find the ratio and apply it to the combat stats function that give result. Respect the semantic object in your design and you are fine.

something like that : if you are strong dps and low toughness, if during the combat you don’t dps but take damage, you got a low % MF bonus when looting, just because you miss something this time…so try again ^^

that s mean you must play your role/class better ^^ excellent for gameplay

I think it is the best way to go

what do you think of this solution ?

So what happens to the full MF gear (exotic/ascended) I got for a ton of gold?

It’s well over 100% (can’t remember the exact number and don’t wanna guess) before the sigil stack and food/banner.

And there’s another problem with your suggestion.

MF gear gives and takes away, you get the boost, but you are weaker because you have to open hand of some other stat.
That’s the idea of MF in the game, you’re suggesting that all of a sudden everyone gets a MF boost, i.e. better loot, but no downside to it.
